I am having grain mites problem with my mealworm colony, they are found all over the room!! I have been feeding the mealworms oatmeal and dump tissue for mositure.
Now I have got rid of the mealworm colony where most of the mites were found, and I found some on the sides of the containers, not badly infested, but I can see them with my naked eyes easily, and inside my crickets and roaches enclosure.
Has anyone got experience dealing with them? Can they reproduce without oatmeal? Do they eat dead roaches or crickets? Do I need to get rid of my roaches/crickets colony too?
I am really worried, becuase all my tarantulas and scorps are all in that room, I would appreciate any help if anyone can give me some advice, thank you!!
